Thank you! Overall I think I captured what the model was doing.
Thank you! Pushing myself out of my comfort zone to get better is rough. But worth it.
This reference was fairly neutrally lite which made it hard to paint. A better likeness than the last few. Practice is helping.

Of the speed paintings I'm happiest with this though without measuring its still not a good enough likeness. But until I get far enough in rendering I'm blind to the problem.

Flipping is what I've been doing digitally. The mirror trick may solve my issues when I go to physical media! That's genius!
I bet it would feel great on your chitinous hooves! And I hate the feeling as well. The lotion was prescribed as part of my recovery from second degree burns. I found a way to tolerate it. Mostly including wiping my hands off between the fingers. So gross.
And how many of too many pancakes? And does the quality of pancake play a part in the equation?
Those sections totally killed my attempts at a second play though.
Regular lotion on feet, hands, elbows, knees, etc. is worth it.
Lucky
You're welcome! Be warned, it's humbling AF... I feel like I have no idea what in doing half the time.
We used to do that too. Now I keep a list on Google sheets with just =rand() in a column. Mark watched as we go and at the end of the list sort by rand.
I've been doing this for a few years and it's great!
I know the saying but don't get the reference...!?
Without measurement and without liquefy the subject is very misshapen (watch the timelapse for an example). I have this crooked bias I'm not sure how to solve for. If you solved this for yourself, how did you do it? I'm struggling. And it's really digging into my time budget for high quality renders in ~10 minutes.

Side profile is easier for sure, 18 minutes is too long. And doing this without taking measurements is more difficult than I imagined. People who can just draw in proportions right away amaze me.

I'd like to be able to get to this fidelity in 10 minutes or so. I have a lot of work to do to get there.

One of my art goals is to draw a good likeness of someone live in ~10 minutes. My current workflow takes hours to get there with lots of measuring and re-measuring. This is me trying to draw on the fly with no measuring. ~15 minutes.
Feedback?

Clearly a genre that needs more exploitation. Vampires Beyond the Thunder Dome! I love the movies and the one video game.
Wanted to end the series with a bang. What do you think?

In this vampire series I need to do at least one painting that really showcases the teeth. This is my attempt. How did I do?

When I saw the reference photo of Charli XCX I thought to myself, now THAT'S a vampire! Plus I hadn't done one with teeth or blood yet. And now I have.

It wasn't her wings or teeth that gave it away. But the reflection she did not have.
When I started this piece I was planning to paint a reflection. Silly me. Looks unsettling without it which I think fits the scene.

I'm about half way though Principles of Product Development Flow and The Sleepwalkers. Just finished Lean Customer Development and tomorrow I write a review on it and start Lean Enterprise.
